Is there any way to play multiplayer campaign missions? There is the option but nothing to load. Same with the tacticle engagements. I have a lan network at my house and want to play multiplayer missions with my brother. The only thing I can figure out is the Dogfight. (Thanx in advance)

You can certainly fly campaign and TE's online.

You have to either make or download or borrow a TE from someone - there are none that came boxed with the game. Once you have the TE one person loads it and the other people join it.

I have never flown campaign online, so I am not sure exactly how it is done - but it can for sure 100% be done- there are even a few servers that have a campaign running 24 hours a day for you to fly.

Hope this helps.

Reaper, a good place to download TE´s is the site of the 388th VFW. Their site is www.388th.homepad.com, and they have a ton of nice TE´s with description. Just click on Downloads -> Falcon 4.0 files -> TE missions.

For online play I recommend TE´s over campaigns by the way, because campaigns are too much of a system hog with way too much information to be exchanged. You can´t really play it online without experiencing some lag. If everybody is on a cablemodem and lives within 50 miles or so it´s okay, but for everything else TE´s are much better.

You can run, but why die tired?

I downloaded a bucket full of TE's. After learning how to create/edit TE's, I found most of them to be full of ground battles and very similair to campaigns. I think these intense ground wars are not desirable in Mplay. I edited this stuff out and now have leaner-meaner TE's.

Some were full of support groups and some were just pasted together with apparently no thought given to purpose. However most are worthwhile for single play and well constructed. I suggest that anyone with F4 fever should learn to construct their own TE's. It adds to the game IMO.
